Removing Ashes:

When approximately 1 ton of pellets has been burned, it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut down when removing the ash pan.

1.Pull on latch handle to open the ash door, and remove ash pan.

2.Close the ash door while dumping ashes. Use ash pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.

3.Return the ash pan into the stove and latch the ash door securely.

Cleaning:

Scrape the burn pot surface regularly. Whenever adding fuel, it is a good time to scrape the burn pot. Using the flat end of the scraper tool, scrape under the fire to remove any carbon deposits which may be forming. The more frequent the scraping, the better performanc you'll have.

The stove will need to be cleaned for approximately every 2 to 5 tons of pellets burned. The amount of pellets burned before cleaning will vary depending on the brand of pellets.

1. Shut down the stove and disconnect the power

3. Remove combustion blower cover by turning the latch

vertical as shown in Fig.26 and sliding the cover out

of the slot on the left (Fig.27.) This will expose the

combustion blower wheel and flue outlet, (Fig.24.)

4. Clean the blower wheel with a brush and a vacuum

cleaner.

5. Use a brush (Fig.30) to clean the flue, being careful

not to damage the ESP probe. The flue goes straight

through into the vent pipe (Fig.29) therefore, the vent

pipe can also be cleaned, to some extent, through

the flue outlet.

6. Reinstall the blower cover and relatch.
